2. Private group

When this feature is enabled, linuxconf will create a group having the same name as the user account, unless a group is specified. The dialog for a new account appears with the group field empty.

When disabled, linuxconf assigns a default group to new account (users).

This feature is not effective for special accounts such as POP and PPP accounts since those accounts are assigned to a specific group (popusers and pppusers).

Note also that this feature does not prevent you from assigning the group you want to an account. If the group does not exist, you will have the opportunity to create it on the fly.
